Mark & France Clausen: Founders of Veritas Group at Compass
Mark and France Clausen are the founders and shared owners of Veritas Group at Compass, a top-producing real estate team serving Austin and the Texas Hill Country. With over 50 years of combined real estate experience and more than 32 years of working together, their approach is built on strategy, market expertise, and an unwavering commitment to their clients.
Their success is rooted in a broad and well-rounded background in real estate. Mark and France have been real estate investors for more than three decades, building an extensive property portfolio that has given them firsthand insight into the complexities of buying, selling, and developing real estate. They also co-owned a construction and development company, gaining valuable experience in everything from new builds to large-scale projects. Since 2007, they have excelled in residential, ranch, and land sales across Austin and the Hill Country, consistently delivering exceptional results for their clients. In addition, they have built and managed a collection of sought-after short-term rentals, further expanding their expertise in investment properties and income-producing real estate.
At the heart of their business is teamwork. Their professional and personal partnership has been the foundation of their success, allowing them to approach real estate with a unique balance of skills and perspectives. Mark, a former Navy SEAL, is known for his discipline, precision, and tenacity in negotiations. As a natural problem solver, he thrives in finding creative solutions and navigating complex transactions with ease. France, equipped with a Master’s in Social Work and a BA in Psychology, offers clients a compassionate and systemically nuanced approach to their real estate needs. Her creative marketing strategies ensure that every property is positioned for maximum exposure and appeal. Their dichotomous backgrounds merge seamlessly, offering clients a holistic and uniquely beneficial real estate experience.
Mark and France specialize in the Austin Hill Country region, from Southwest Austin to Dripping Springs and beyond, handling residential, ranch, and land sales at all levels, including high-value estates and exclusive properties. Their philosophy remains the same in every transaction: treat every client with the utmost care and handle every deal as if it were their own.
